She’s fortunate to be in a position to have someone advocating for her to do further tests to find it at stage 1 (and have the resources). Most women would be told their scans and mammogram are clear and be sent home, until it’s found at a later stage.
Best of luck to her for the future. 🙏

I’m glad she’s talking about this. She is not alone.

I’m 2.5 years free from stage 2b HER2+ invasive ductal carcinoma. 19 months of treatment that I’m still struggling with side effects from, but, I’m here! Always sending my best wishes to cancer warriors everywhere! 💕

I had already been a fan of Olivia’s since her days on G4, but after hearing her talk about her fight with cancer, she’s now one of my heroes.

I was in her shoes 3 years ago. My babies were only 2 & 3 years old and height of Covid. I’m healing and back to work ❤️

She’s fortunate that her doctor had foresight and took the assessment risk test for her. A lot of women don’t have someone looking out for them like this.

What a lovely, grounded and strong LADY!!! KUDOS to Michael for a wonderful interview! I know he is dealing with cancer in his family and his strength and sensitivity touched me to my core! My father passed from cancer after a 25 year battle in 1997, so seeing these interviews gives me hope that we WILL eradicate this beast! 🙏 ❤👍👏

Great interview Michael very heart felt and moving God bless all people that are going through this.

A routine mammogram saved my life. I had no symptoms or felt no lump. I normally have my mammogram on my birthday month but in 2018 I had my mammogram in early august 3 months after my birthday and it came back suspicious. I was called to come back for another mammogram and then was told I needed an ultrasound. The ultrasound confirmed a mass so then I needed a biopsy. In September of 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction on November 1, 2018. In December of 2018 I was told that I would not need radiation or chemo. I was stage 1. Thanks to God, I have completed my 5 years in December of 2023! The surgeries were brutal but I would do it all over again. It’s true, you do see life differently after a cancer diagnosis. I Thank God everyday for my life and my family!!❤

I am praying for her. God bless her and others going through this.

Prayers go out to Olivia & her family my daughter has been fighting 2 types of rare stage 4 breast cancer strains of cancer going on almost 5 years. And Olivia's story is so similar to what I've seen and witnessed my own daughter going through. It's not easy to see your loved one suffer yet staying strong and fighting every single day! 🙏✝️🥰 prayers to all going thru this fight!
